Happy Mooncake Festival!

Today is the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, and this is what we call Moon Cake Festival, to be more precise, it's Mid-Autumn Festival . Mooncakes are also known as ``reunion cakes'' as family members gather to partake of the sweet confectionery. While the adult busy enjoying the mooncake, children will gleefully carry lanterns of all shapes and sizes walk around the house.

On Sunday night, Ah Kong told mummy that there will be a small party at Penang Swimming Club, so daddy and mummy decided to bring oyu there to join the crowd. Anyhow, it's your FIRST time celebrating the mid-autumn festival. Excited???? haha! We quickly take our dinner, and off, we headed to PSC with Ah Kong. And of course, we bring along your Winnie the Pooh lantern.

When we reached there, it's around 7:40pm, the party started at 7:30pm. There is a small buffet line being set up right behind the children swimming pool. Mummy try to find something for you to eat, too bad, all of the food are very oily. Sooo...only daddy, mummy and Ah Kong get to eat the food.

Since there is also a lantern competition take place on the day, the organiser requested all children to hold on their lantern and walk around the swimming pool. When everyone start to walk around, mummy carry you while you hold on to your lantern and join the parade. And guess who we met? We met Vernon kor kor with his Doraemon lantern. While we were walking around the pool, you don't seems to get fascinated by all types of lantern, instead, you kept looking at people swimming in the pool. Hmm, you must be wondering how come these people still can play in water at night meanwhile you are not allow to do so? Or you are hinting to daddy and mummy that you want to play water?

After one round of walking around the pool, we are back to the buffet side. While waiting for prize giving, mummy went to do another round of survey on buffet line, to look for food for you.Taaa daaaaa...they bring out some newly fried food and yippie, mummy spotted few slices of tomatoes that used as decoration, so mummy get few slices for you to eat, else pity you, keep looking at our food. And you enjoy eating your tomatoe very much.

We went off around 9pm when you start showing sleepy look to us by keep rubbing your eyes. We decided to make a off before you become a cranky baby. I hope you enjoy the lantern party and by next year, you will be able to join in the crowd, walking with your lantern.
